Establishment of Causal Relationships of the Occurrence of Road Accidents

Despite strong road safety programs focused primarily on reducing road crashes and aiming for zero deaths, death rates remain high in many countries. When using statistical databases when working with accidents, the researcher is primarily faced with the task of assessing the causes and conditions of the types of accidents under consideration, however, the lack of scientifically based methods for conducting such an assessment significantly increases the processing time of indicators, and can also contribute to the underestimation of many indicators. To exclude the occurrence of such problems within the framework of this scientific article, it is proposed to develop a methodology for assessing the statistical indicators of accidents with the possibility of determining the causes and conditions for their occurrence. What can be achieved by solving certain tasks: 1. Analysis of existing methods for assessing accidents; 2. Assessment of accidents according to statistical databases; 3. Development of a methodology for assessing accidents with the ability to determine the causes and conditions for their occurrence. The results obtained in the work allow us to process the accident rates and establish the main causes and conditions for their occurrence. This allows you to work more effectively with available indicators and make informed decisions to improve road safety. © 2022 IEEE.
